  1. It is James Damore not AC who wrote that. He is telling the forbidden truth, again.

    YOURE FIRED!!!!!!!!!!

  2. I think you have zero understanding of economics or industry. It is not the people who do things, it is companies that do things. If the company employees people in India and give them a task that they do for money those people are just working for the goals of the company not their own goals. Their own goal is to get paid, the company needs to motivate them with payment or something that motivates them to achieve the goal of the company.

    If you are do HTML5 then you are in the same boat if you work for a company, you are achieving the goal of the company. HTML5 has a different skill level etc but if they could do it with a dirt floor in India just as efficiently and cheaper they would (and do on some occasions probably not with a dirt floor.)

    What protects your jobs and you is various things including the company you work for choosing to benefit you. Most HTML5 ect workers are actual hard working people.

    If you live in a prosperous country that is what is benefiting you most. Not as much your skills, a better reason to ask is why is your country prospering as opposed to the dirt floor country. You will find it is comes back to the leadership of your country and the laws and systems the put in place. The leaders now days if they could go and figure out what differentiated your country from other countries they would be able to maintain your countries prosperity.
    A small note, your country can influence other countries to bring prosperity to them but it cannot afford to make those countries prosperous or they will just weaken themselves and their influence and in the worst case the will become like those countries. There is a reason why other countries are trying to emulate a lot of the US (not necessarily current stuff but the fundamentals.)

    Funny when someone stands up for truth and doing what is right they are a rat?

    I think we need more people who are actually public servants, do things to serve the public as a whole.

    Of course b0s0z0ku would rather that people can get away with lies and acts of public endangerment.

  4. Ok so lets just say I am right 99.8% of the time. the other 0.2% can be up for debate.

    If you had done any stats then you would call that proven. If you want absolutes then we could debate that out. I am not angry that you disagree with me but it is a symptom of the propergander from the LGBT that people are confused about the basics.

    If you cannot figure out how to identify your gender with your pants down then your thinking is so far from science and facts that it is crazy. However yes there are exceptions such as if you have had some reassignment surgery. Just like I could identify boy or girl on the scan for my son. It is very easy 90% of children over 5 can do it. 99% over 10 but only 80% over 20 (due to being propagandized.)

  5. Ok great science, the 0.2% invalidates the rest? Listen I am not a doctor but when we went to a scan when my wife was pregnant we said we will wait till the baby is born to find the gender. Then clear as day a picture on the ultra sound came up with his Willie sticking out. Guess what, its a boy. Sorry if it does not fit with the LGBT+ but anyone who is thinking different is not connected to reality, pretending that a tiny percent makes the whole lot not work is just crazy.

    Humans are complex but one of the easiest thing is to identify gender. You don't need a special medical test, you can do it yourself at home.

  6. If you cannot work with someone who suspects you are not good then wake up. Go anywhere as a Man or woman or anything and you will find that you are the new person you have to prove yourself. Sorry if you thought that poor me I am a girl so I am the only one. You are thinking like a victim. James would give you the respect you have earned, not a free pass.

    However if you have done nothing to earn respect then he may think probably the company hired her to help with the push for Female engineers wonder if she actually knows what she is doing. How terrible to have a thought that might be classed as slightly negative.

    Guess what hang around woman with agendas and you will get them thinking, this man is probably a biased pig before they say or do anything. The whole thing cuts both ways.

  7. The modern left is so confused by the LGBT etc that you are not even able to determine someones gender by their supplied equipment. Rather it is up to the person what gender they feel like they should be, oh now lets try and get science to agree with the feelings rather than the facts.

    The only reason the science is in question is that it is not the politically correct result.

  8. If the study does not prove it it does not make it incorrect.

    IMHO he was/is correct.

    Firing him was and is lame, showed google have no backbone to look after their own. Even if he was wrong still they should not fire him. How about talk to him and tell him what is expected. Sorry google failed their own employee but that is probably because they forgot their own plan to do no Evil. So why be loyal to your employees right.

    so Russia is pro-trump? Did you know all this false crap in the Trump Dossier is from Russia, kind of anti Trump. You know the setup where the Russians came to meet with Trump and met with Jr? This was a setup and he could smell the stink, so were these russians also on Trump's side trying to set him up. And now is Trump Pro-Russia? Trump is Pro US. The Dems including the media (most Dems and media) is anti US, or maybe they do not care about the US in a utilitarian way. Now this army of bots for hire is pro gun? does it make a difference? Will Trump get the blame for anything that is not looking like your point of view? Just blame Trump for everything happening in the world you don't like. These bots are probably controlled by a 14yo in his basement. Or quite possibly they are controlled from Clinton's server sited at the FBI which is being run by a DOJ intern trying to make news for the NYT who is hacked into some Russian PC and slaving it to control the bot army. Any decent hacker will try and lay the blame on an obvious target that is not them.

  12. Exactly, we could be profitable but the cost of being profitable will be loss of market share which is our main asset. So it will cost us more in loss of invest ability much more that 4.5 Bil. Hard to compete with this business model in the short term but in the long term they either get their self driving cars or die. To bad if you own a taxi company.

  15. Re:As a gear head - this is nirvana on Porsche Is 3D Printing Hard-To-Find Parts For The 959 And Other Classics (jalopnik.com) · · Score: 1

    If you have ever actually used 3D metal printing for small or fine parts, you will know it is not print and use. You need to spend some time finishing and fine detail (think gear teeth etc) don't work too well. Possibly they can improve it but chances are it will get worse when it gets cheaper. When we tried it the parts were unusable but we were trying to make parts that did not just look like something but were useful in a small unit. For something big and smooth like a lever seems like it would be ok. The company sent us a few samples of what they could do but our 3D print did not seem harder than the samples hardly yet was a failure. I suspect some marketing in there. There are some other useful manufacturing techniques like MIM (Metal Injection Molding) which we used to good effect. It was for keys on a Metal Keypad on a ATM but in this case we used an overmold of plastic (actually just the insides were plastic) to allow us to shine a light through the keys and have them backlit. Not really sure if MIM can go finer and better than the Metal 3D print. Both were in stainless.

  16. Re:No such thing as an 'AI chip' on Amazon Is Designing Custom AI Chips For Alexa (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    If you understand Nural Networks at all you will see how they can easily be made into a a simple element and then you can put 1000's of them onto an IC to accelerate AI type functions. Most probably you would not need to do too much learning but having the NN elements would accelerate learning. NN elements have 2 or more inputs and 1 output. The inputs are numerical with a multiplier (weighting) then you have a comparitor with a threshold and and output at either true or false. (This is from my memory so pretty sure it is all correct) putting this onto a IC and so you can process data through it would be simple. If you were processing voice for voice recognition then you may also want to process using FFTs or filters etc and perhaps the same for cameras (not sure.) All these kind of tasks are processor intensive. If you want to produce real time responses then all of this helps. Instead of listen post process and then react. This is a similar thing to the digital part of a GPS receiver IC in that (if you understand a little bit about how the GPS system works) you use corrilators and the more the better as corrilators take time to run and need to take in the data and produce a result. Having lots of corrilators helps speed up the process as running straight on the CPU is too slow for real time. Having an AI chip will be able to do the same but a lot faster and more power efficient. By doing so the thing can transcribe all your conversation and cope with all your video input and so that it can say. Yesterday you were talking about a sore tooth with your wife. Show some denitist ads with "Got a sore tooth?" the possibilities are endless and so helpful you will love your AI helping you with only ads focused on what you want. Soon they will be free as the ad revenue will pay for the thing in no time.

    first the going up concept is a bit weak, as I said above check the standard deviation first it is just a set of random numbers going up or down is non conclusive. Second whenever the sea rises it deposits more stuff which lifts the island, the land mass is growing so don't worry about Tuvalu. Instead worry about the conclusion being that chicken little running around calling out that the sea levels are rising. Is this crap based on the weakest of evidence (as seen here) of course a random set of values can be going up and down and if you over analyse them you can produce all sorts of erroneous stuff. Even the concept that GW will cause the sea level to rise has so many flaws. Of course there is evidence like this tide information from Tuvalu. The problem is taking the evidence and then outputting worst case conclusions.

    Yes the horrific sea level rise in Tuvalu is documented here http://www.psmsl.org/data/obta... Note according to the summary the sea level is rising here at twice the global average. By drawing a trend line the people of Tuvalu may need to be worried about the increasing sea levels in about year infinity. There was an article about GW and the rising sea levels where I saw a comment that those who thought such claims may be jumping the gun were told that they had lost 1/2 their school to the rising sea levels. (Sorry I forgot where it is so cannot link it.) This is what is known as ignorance gone to seed. I will say that average sea level is probably not too concerning but rather peak sea level as if you get flooded once a year it could be bad.
